Good day,

I am looking for some help on the combination symbol chart. I wish to use the same functionality of this study but in a different way.

I would like to create a graph that takes the difference in percentage between the current price and a previous price of a specific symbol. let's say of AAPL right now, so:

PriceA = (AAPL(T) - AAPL(T-1)) / AAPL(T)

And then combine a handful of them, say PriceA, PriceB, PriceC, PriceD.

I believe the current combination symbol chart study is only performing the following:

PriceA = SymbolA(T) * number.

sum(PriceA, PriceB, PriceC, PriceD, PriceE)

There are a number of ways to do what you are wanting. One of the easiest is to use the Spreadsheet Formula, which is uses the same syntax as our Simple Alerts. Therefore, you would open a chart for AAPL and then add the Spreadsheet Formula and enter the following formula in the study to get percentage for the Close prices:
= (C - C[-1])/C

You can then add multiple Spreadsheet Formula studies to do additional work. Refer to the information here:
Spreadsheet Formula

You may also want to look into the Spreadsheet Study, as it might be simpler to use for the multiple formulas:
